I would get letters from my grandma - long, winding beseeching me to come to the Lord or whatever, with often a specific date predicted in the near future of the end times. I never kept them because I was embarrassed. She was lonely and mentally ill, and probably trying to manipulate people into visiting her, but she also believed the shit she was saying, even though it kept changing, IMO.

I think that's a little bit of what is going on with these signs

Pedophilia is rare. Stranger danger is just weird dudes and busybodies. I mean, protect your kids, and protect them from the loonies who want to control your family.

People who want to hurt children are not limited to one political group or religious or social whatever. They're fucked up.

Yeah it's strange. I don't know how long it will take for AI to be surreptitious, less obvious, but it's weird and scary.

Vise grip hasn't been oiled since my dad told me to do it thirty years ago. Ah! All those metrics are starving!

There's obviously a zillion open source games you could add, but I'm partial to pixel dungeon and its many variants

You need to slow it down with the skyrim. Perhaps some morrowind or some daggerfall? Just to slow down the aggravation.

Anybody who liked toy trucks would love that weird thing in the op.

I endure it at work because I can't just modify everything to my liking. Lots of political ads lately. Use the hardware mute button when you start the video. Alt-tab to whatever tedious spreadsheet or page of code. Come back and restart the video in two minutes.

Who has always lived anywhere? What entitles anyone to anything?

The Jews are not all that great. The Jewish settlers in Israel have always been out to kill. Conversely, the Palestinians have always been pissed at the so-called Zionists who just started showing up and claiming land. Actually Settlers from Israel keep doing that illegal shot.

background: staying in a roadside motel in the US. Man and Woman in the next room are screaming at each other. 1:30 in the morning. Not my problem.

But I did get voyeuristic and plant my ear on the wall. Most I could comprehend was "your daughter, but what about MY daughter?" from the woman. That's what I thought I heard.

I was like, if I am certain I can tell that someone is beating on someone, and trying to kill them, or you know just violence is happening, then I'll call 911. but I was far from certain. all i could discern was crying and screaming.

Hour later, someone is pounding on my door. is it someone in distress? I am in the least accessible and least desirable room in the place. It's probably one of those two neighbors, but which one?

Anyways, I'm in the US, so I have one or more guns, but I don't keep them loaded or accessible. by the time I had something ready, I think the neighbors were about to pass out. they currently are quiet after hours of screaming.

So I'm not a fan of cops, but not entirely against them. Situations in which I did call the cops:

-Neighbors were screaming at each other, 3 a.m.; their 6-year-old girl was out in the street crying.

-I heard broken glass and looked out the window, and saw a pair of big man's boots going into what I thought was a single woman's apartment.
